Recruiting: Jordan Shipley Update

Despite committing to Texas way back in March, it's been a long, grueling recruiting process for Burnet WR <b>Jordan Shipley</b>. Since October, rumor after rumor has circulated around netdom about where he (and his father and head coach <b>Bob Shipley</b>) may or may not end up this fall. Given that, along with his team's run to the state 3A championship game, Jordan has had little time to relax. That won't change, at least until later this week.<p>

The younger Shipley will meet with the Texas coaches this week to discuss a few things, and it will be after the meeting that Jordan determines whether he has any real and true reservations about his verbal to the Longhorns. And, at the end of the week, he is expected to either reaffirm his commitment to the Horns or possibly open the recruiting process back up.

I would characterize this week's meeting as arguably one of the most significant events regarding the college future of the national top 100 selection.
